Argentine Ant Invasion Associated With Lob lolly Pines in the Southeastern United States: Minimal Impacts But Seasonally Sustained

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 39(4), 1141–1150.

By: A. Rowles n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Argentine ants; biological invasion; Linepithema humile; arboreal foraging; Pious taeda
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants; Feeding Behavior; Introduced Species; North Carolina; Pinus taeda
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Argentine ants can invade and persist in native North Carolina forests, probably mediated by pine-associated resources and minimal impact on the native ant fauna relative to previously described invasions requires further resolution. (via Semantic Scholar)

Carbohydrate supply limits invasion of natural communities by Argentine ants

OECOLOGIA, 161(1), 161–171.

By: A. Rowles n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Argentine ants; Biological invasion; Resources; Facilitation
MeSH headings : Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Ants / metabolism; Ants / physiology; Demography; Dietary Carbohydrates / metabolism; North Carolina; Population Density; Population Dynamics; Sucrose
TL;DR: It was shown that supplementing carbohydrate supply facilitates invasion of natural habitat by Argentine ants, particularly evident where Argentine ants continued to thrive following sugar station removal. (via Semantic Scholar)
